People keep listing reasons to dislike Hillary, where Trump is even more so.

Come on, how is this relevant to our current presidential election cycle? Serious, honest question.

You might have noticed that we have a true blue, dyed-in-the-wool socialist running for President. And you will have a tough time convincing me that the Democratic party is not already there with the GOPe flirting with them from outside the window.

Oh, who's a "true blue, dyed-in-the-wool socialist"? Can't be Clinton, Wall Street/Big Banks don't pay socialists to give speeches. Must be Bernie. So Bernie's a "true blue, dyed-in-the-wool socialist"? No wonder the 1% hate him, he might delay their march to 1890.

Sheesh, she doesn't hate Donald Trump in a thread titled "I can't Hate Donald Trump" that you started. Then, just because she says something about somebody else, you're all "Oh, who's a..., Can't be..., Must be..., So..., and No wonder...

Hopefully "will be", not "would have been".

Whether or not you agree with Sanders or believe that he's more moderate in reality, it is a fact that Bernie himself says that he is an avowed socialist. Those are his own words.

I've heard him refer to himself as a "democratic socialist." I don't recall ever hearing him say he was a plain old "socialist." Not saying he hasn't, just that I've never seen it.
I think in the pigeonholes of a lot of people's minds, the word "socialist" fits in the same slot as "communist" or "marxist." And "democratic socialist" gets shorted to just "socialist" and dumped in there as well. I see a need for education on the meaning of the different words. But these are somewhat complicated ideas that take more explaining than can fit on a captioned facebook picture. I'm not volunteering to do the explaining, because I don't know the subject well enough to teach it. And as a rule, people resent being lectured. Over-simplified slogans seem to resonate, and I think "Bernie wants to send my kids to college while [insert opponent here] wants to send them to war." is a decent one. |

"I don't think that means what you think it means", would be appropriate in this election. I think a certain label means X, you think a certain label means Y, neither of us knows what a candidate thinks it means.

This drives me round the bend. The idea that Bernie Sanders is somehow on the same political page as the old soviet union is just crazy.

Sure, but is the solution for him to be a representative for "see, 'socialism' isn't a bad word," or "no no no, I'm nothing like you're thinking, I'm this other term over here."
And in case anyone hasn't yet seen John Oliver's recent take on it: |

Yeah but (Rule #1, Always precede with a yeah but) Oliver is a ferriner, he doesn't understand American values, nor the shorthand we use to miscommunicate.
